"STRAIGHT
ARROW" was broadcast nationally as a 30-minute episode three
times a week until February 1950 and then it went to twice a
week until the show ended in June 1951. All 292 scripts were
written by Sheldon Stark.

While his script on the childhood of Straight Arrow was never
aired, the story was used on the inside cover of an Injun-Uity
Manual premium.

Although this entertaining series had a relatively short run
(starting after the advent of television, it could not last
long) it was popular enough to spawn both a comic book series
and also a newspaper strip.

The first comic book came out in the spring of 1950 with Gardner
Fox doing most of the writing and Fred L. Meagher as the
illustrator. The comic books actually out-lasted the radio
version by a full five years; they ended in March 1956.

The newspaper strip, distributed by Bell Syndicate, was well
done, but did not equal the duration of the comic books. This
news strip, again with story by Fox, was illustrated by the
talented duo of John Belfi and Joe Certa. It was syndicated to
about 200 U.S. newspapers from July 1950 to August 1951.

Today, some 45 years after the demise of STRAIGHT ARROW,
virtually all of the talented people who were in its cast and
crew are deceased. Culver went on to play the boy friend of
Mercedes McCambridge in her radio series, DEFENSE ATTORNEY, and
he had a reoccurring television role as Howie the desk clerk on
GUNSMOKE.

Culver died in 1984, but his widow, Lois, is currently active in
our OTR hobby and is involved in a vintage radio "chat-room" on
the Internet. (See Lou Genco's web site.)

Frank Bingman became a anchor man for ABC-TV and did voice-overs
for movie previews of 20th Century-Fox. He died in August 1988
in Northern Virginia, and one month before his death, he
addressed the membership of the Metro Washington OTR Club.
Bingman revealed that in his 40+ years of broadcasting,
"STRAIGHT ARROW" was his favorite series and that Howard Culver
had been his best and closest friend.
